Cline Community MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server that simplifies reporting issues from Cline to GitHub.

Overview

This MCP server provides tools to streamline the process of reporting issues from Cline to the GitHub repository. It automatically gathers relevant system information (OS, Cline version, API provider, model), formats it alongside the user’s issue description, and can preview how the issue would look before submitting it to GitHub.

Features

• Cross-platform support: Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux
• Multiple IDE support: Compatible with VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf
• Automatic metadata extraction: Gets API provider, model, and IDE information from task metadata
• Two-step issue reporting workflow:
  1. Preview the issue before submission
  2. Submit to GitHub with a single command
• GitHub Integration: Uses the GitHub CLI (gh) to create issues
